    What's that got to do with turning off new animations? Please be more elaborate in the future if you want people to understand it.

    Oh damn. My guild raids on weekends, so I haven't seen it in action. Is it a total clusterfuck?

    Try raiding as a melee in FF-XIV. Seizures included.

    Yes? That is intentional, they made the spell effects like that. I still don't see the relation between raiding with mages and priests and not being able to turn the new effects off. What is the problem that you didn't state in the first post?

    I wish I could turn them off because of how terrible they are. For once I'm grateful Blizzard treats Warlocks poorly.

    changing things without leaving options is a pretty huge design mistake

    They should reduce the animations that aren't yours so they don't take up all the screen space

    When I played FFXIV I ended up turning off seeing other peoples abilities because it just gets to the point you can see what's going on.

    There's only 8 people, it is seriously not that bad.

    20 mans on the other hand, with these new animations? RiP toaster PCs that have been playing since 2004.

    I've personally never had this problem, but I'm also the type of person that doesn't stack on other melee.

    Haven't seen Blizzard yet, but Holy Nova is way less obnoxious now. So can I have what you're smoking?

    It's a very obvious point, so much so nobody thought it needed explaining. With those particle and spell effects, it's difficult to see what the hell you're doing in a large group of people. Raiding is a sea of audio and visual bombardment.

    Stupid idea to have an ability to turn off features that are meant to be permanent.

    Don't like it, then you can reduce particle density or spell effect.
    FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..

    They reduce/remove a lot of animations for screen space and performance
